“…Anderberg and Dahlberg (2019) emphasize the importance of public opinion about the image of a man and state that the stereotyping of society, which requires standards of male physical capacity, often not only wrongly shapes a young man's attitude towards himself, but also raises the risk of his social isolation and forms low self-worth and self-esteem. That is why men usually see physical training as the only way to overcome self-doubt, low self-worth and insufficient self-esteem (Fehsenfeld, 2015). The distinctiveness of some men, their self-awareness through creating an attractive physical appearance and increasing physical strength sometimes becomes the only example for young people who seek to secure a social position in their environment, group or community (Hargie, Somerville, Mitchell, 2017).…”

Background. Self-esteem is one characteristic of personality, a construct of self-confidence, self-respect, and harmonious interaction with oneself (Breslin, Leavey, 2019). Research devoted to the analysis of men's self-esteem reveals that a positive self-evaluation of men requires an image of a physically active man, which the man could compare with other men who demonstrate physical strength (Conzelmann, Schmidt, 2019). A man's physical self-perception is part of the assessment of a physically healthy and strong person and an aspect that ensures his sociality (Crawford, 2017). Scientific research establishes clear links between a man's physical attractiveness (Anderson-Butcher, 2019), sociability and self-esteem (Anderson, White, 2017). Men who systematically engage in active physical activity are physically healthier and more attractive (Burrmann, 2018). They are also emotionally more stable, their emotional self-control is more focused and their self-confidence is higher (El Ghali, 2018). Aim of the research. To reveal the effect of sports activities on the self-esteem of men experiencing social exclusion. Methods. To determine men's self-esteem changes The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale was chosen, and the Data were processed using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Science), version 22.0. Results. A study in which men experiencing social exclusion participated in independent and team sports activities for half a year revealed a positive change in their self-esteem. When analyzing the changes in men's self-esteem before and after the activities, the distance between the estimates of the Rosenberg test before the experiment and 6 months after it ended is 1 standard deviation on the z-scale of the standard normal distribution. According to Cohen's concept of effective size, such a difference between standardized means can be considered as large. Despite the relatively small sample (N=30), the test met the very strict condition of statistical reliability (p≤0.001). Conclusion. The study revealed that when socially excluded men were included in sports activities held for half a year, their self-esteem changed from 15 points (low self-esteem) to 25-30 points (high self-esteem). Keywords: social exclusion, self-esteem, sports activities

“…Numerous studies use social capital as the theoretical concept to underpin their measurement or conceptualisation of social cohesion (e.g. Vermeulen and Verweel 2009, Spaaij 2012, Fehsenfeld 2015. Others even go so far as to mention social cohesion in the abstract or keywords but focus entirely on ideas of social capital within the main text (e.g.…”

Despite growing activity connecting sport to social cohesion, in sport-related literature, social cohesion is poorly defined and primarily organised along narrow dimensions of social relations or social capital. Yet social cohesion is a complex, multidimensional concept that encompasses ideas of belonging, shared values, trust, and civic participation. Much literature does not explore these other components in-depth, and we know little about how sport programmes understand and address these components of social cohesion. Against this background, using qualitative data from a mapping survey completed by 84 European sport organisations, this study aims to create a typology of the main sport for social cohesion approaches in Europe. In the end, four main types are identified: evangelical approaches that rely solely on the power of sport; value approaches that mix sport participation with the promotion of values; integration approaches that combine sport and civic participation to foster social capital and cohesion; and belonging approaches that encourage trust, dialogue and a greater sense belonging.To conclude, these types are critically discussed and situated against existing literature, and the outline of a fifth, more structural type is presented.
